I'd sell that property in a flash. No way I'd ever live in a place where my neighbors had the ability to tell me what I could and couldn't do on my own property.
Since the city approved the permits I feel the city should reimburse the developers for their construction costs to this point and also pay to remove the partially built structures. Then let the developers submit new plans for single family residences. It's only 2 lots so the city should be grateful residents discovered these deed violations before the projects were completed.
Please understand Houstonians. New construction is always the best for all neighborhoods, with or without HOA. The city should issue permits based on correct and sound construction plans. All homes 20 years or older should be allowed to be replaced by newly constructed homes if the home owners decide on it. The construction materials and the soil movement in Houston, can cause damages to the homes that don’t have a permanent remedy in most cases. Any one who opposes new construction is essentially going back in time and that is not good for the environment. The Home Owners Association is a scam that the home buyers are left with after they purchase a house from a master builder in a subdivision. The HOA policies will actually run down the overall look of the neighborhood, because they restrict new fresh change in the neighborhood. Home owners are forced to sell their old homes and move to new homes in new neighborhoods.
Poor Reporting: What are the violated deed restrictions ??? Just taking a wild guess: constructing a multi-family residence on on a property restricted to single family residence. Perhaps the property owners should try reading their deeds.
Because there are these things called deed restrictions. Everyone in the area agreed that in order to limit population density, only one single family home is allowed per lot... No duplexes.
I'm from South Park and go somewhere else. All this will lead to higher property taxes and higher rent. An if you don't live or from here mind your business.
They failed to do their research and that's their fault. You can't just build anything you feel like either because everything has to be up to code for safety reasons. It's obvious you lack any knowledge about deed restrictions, construction, building codes, and a whole lot more.
Lost is this conversation is the realistic conversation around economics. Deed restrictions do protect neighborhoods. Cities across America are literally updating outdated zoning requirements because of their restrictive measures. We have a housing crisis and affordability issue. If you enforce developers to only build traditional single family homes there will be 1 of 2 consequences. 1) Private disinvestment will happen or 2) the traditional single family homes that will get built will start around $400K+ or higher because of the land cost and material/labor expense. We need more affordable housing but there isn’t enough subsidy money to go around.
They sure messing up the hood making it more ratchet than what it already is instead of just building a single family home.

They aren't trying to live there... They will rent the duplexes out.
